Today in New York City, the
U.S. Postal Service will issue the Oscar de la Renta First-Class Forever stamps in eleven designs. The stamps
also will be available at local Post Offices on February 16.
Most widely known for
dressing the country’s First Ladies and celebrities, Oscar de la Renta
(1932-2014) was one of the world’s leading fashion designers for 50 years. This
pane of 11 stamps features an evocative black-and-white portrait of the couturier
and 10 details from several of his most exquisite gowns. De la Renta’s
innovative designs and close attention to detail elevated American style and
brought international attention to New York as a world leader in fashion. Art
Director Derry Noyes designed the stamps.
